About Paganitzu

Paganitzu presents a series of puzzle rooms navigated by the character Alabama Smith. The objective involves gathering gems for scoring and keys to unlock exits, while evading hazards like creatures and traps. Players can also manipulate boulders within the environments.

The experience is divided into three distinct episodes: Romancing The Rose, Quest For The Silver Dagger, and Jewel Of The Yucatan. Additional rewards are provided for discovering hidden sections and for finishing rooms quickly, making the pacing challenging for those seeking optimization. Originally, the first episode was distributed as shareware, with the subsequent two available for individual or combined purchase.

Support materials and shortcuts were commercially available. This included a paid, comprehensive solution guide and the option to acquire built-in cheat codes upon purchasing the game or by request.
